All attending church are required to wear a face covering, have a temperature check and provide contact details for the NHS Test and Trace information.
We appreciate that attending worship is not right for everyone at this time. So we continue to highlight opportunities for worship with a focus on those that are easily available, knowing people with the internet have access to a huge amount of material, far more than we can list so we have listed some of those with a local connection. Please note this offer changes and updates more regularly than we can keep up with so please note it was accurate when compiled but it may change so please check the programme schedules on the day.
